Idling Is Expensive
•Idling a car wastes up to 0.5 gallons of fuel per hour.•Idling a medium-duty truck wastes 0.4 to 0.6 gallons of fuel per hour. •Idling in the U.S. uses more than 6 billion gallons of fuel at a cost of more than $20 billion EACH YEAR.•Engine idling increases vehicle maintenance costs.•Engine idling can shorten vehicle life.

Idling Is Expensive
Scenario: Fleet of 10 medium-duty trucks
If each truck has ten 10-minute idling episodes per workday, using ~0.5 gal/hr1, and fuel costs $3.50/gallon, the annual cost of idled fuel for the fleet is ~$7,550.

Idling Threatens Health
•The most significant health impacts of transportation stem from tailpipe emissions.•Particulate matter irritates the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs, contributing to respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses and even premature death. •Ozone can inflame and damage the airways and aggravate lung diseases such as asthma, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis.
